Who: Pharaoh and u
Where: The Lobby
When: Day 113, morning

[Good morning, world. It's been three weeks since Ozy yelled out loud for everyone to hear, did you miss it?]

IT SHALL BE KNOWN!

With the matters of Scarlet Artemis Blade Morning☆Glory Night☆Shade with Piercing Eyes of the Sun, overseer of the Rising Dawn of Lake Shores or "Maki", it has been dealt with. I bear some of the responsibility of events that have occurred due to my own negligence so I have seen to it. You have no need to concern yourself of it from this point on. For any personal matters, you may address Scarlet Artemis Blade Morning☆Glory Night☆Shade with Piercing Eyes of the Sun as you like, but since this specific issue ultimately and unintentionally involves the unit, further qualms will come to me instead. With regards to Future is Now, I have deemed that they are ultimately not involved, but for any important matters concerning them, I shall simply speak to their keeper about it so you may also come to me with any concerns there also! I shall be your representative in this situation.

That is because I am the keeper of ☆ZRAEL, Pharaoh Ozymandias, King of all Kings, greatest pharaoh of Egypt, Rider class, and god of this world. With the newest title of ☆Phara☼h☆, I have been entrusted to take care of the unit, and I plan to keep my promise to those who are on ☆ZRAEL. I shall protect them and maintain their honor, and I shall make sure they recognize their own glory. Scarlet Artemis Blade Morning☆Glory Night☆Shade with Piercing Eyes of the Sun is no exception! She is ours.

[Pauses for a moment, and eventually nods to himself.]

GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Now that is over with! To more important matters.

Simply put, I am in a fine mood this morning. Though it has been a tumultuous week on many fronts, and my fury has been put to the test multiple times, it has passed for the time being. I can address all of you once more for my recent thoughts.

I will say although this world is filled with heinous criminals that have robbed us of what belongs to us, it is also a world filled with wonders. I have learned to enjoy such things like popcorn or pizza although soda's existence is surprisingly heinous. Teas at the cafe have been fine, and this "arcade" can help satisfy competitive urges that I am prone to.

If there are other such fascinating things from your world, share them with me immediately and I shall judge with my own eyes whether it deserves to be in my blinding presence.

[ He spends a good thirty seconds contemplating if he should even approach or not, but apparently approach wins out. ]

So.




[ That was all a shitshow. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's bantering with Pharaoh but it's pretty obvious that he's more tense and angry than normal to those who speak Intensity]

What?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Noted and also expected. ]

I'm curious if you've made any changes to your gameplan at all from the last time you mentioned it. Given recent... events.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Which game plan? I have many.

[And many have changed]

[puzzlekeeper]

... Any that have relied on your goodwill up until now, I guess.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You must be really anxious if you thought I had any goodwill to start with.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ FLIPPANT HANDWAVE ]

You know what I mean.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't ask me questions like that out in the open if you want a real answer.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ One eyebrow goes up ]

Not necessarily. That answer alone tells me the most pressing of what I wanted to know.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Most pressing, huh?

Well then. I'm sure you're smart enough to deduce the rest.

[puzzlekeeper]

I am, yes.

That's about what I expected.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good.

Then I need to talk to you for business related reasons.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ...? ]

Your office, then?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you mean my lab, yes.

[And heading back to the elevator without waiting to see if King is following]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

But yes, obviously, he's following ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Office is out in the open. Lab is in the dorms. Different level of protections there.

Hope you like awkward elevator rides as Intensity just leans against the wall with his arms crossed, staring somewhere past King's head. Luckily it's only a few floors]

[puzzlekeeper]

. . .

[ Deadpanned, halfway through the ride: ]

And you accuse me of brooding.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[His attention snaps back to King]

You do.

[puzzlekeeper]

Allegedly.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then what do you call the sulking you do after getting bad news?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Dry, ]

Pensive self-reflection. Easy enough to disrupt.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Huffs at that]

Is it that easy?

[puzzlekeeper]

A distracting enough challenge almost always works.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I prefer to work overtime.

And there's a lot of work to be done.

[Ding ding. FiN floor]

[puzzlekeeper]

Then maybe you need to be delegating.

[ Into FiN they gooo ]
